New bicycle parking house at Hamburg Central Station: 200 safe places!

Glockengießerwall, 20095 Hamburg, Deutschland - On Friday, July 23, 2025, according to Tagesschau , a new bicycle park house at Hamburg's main station was inaugurated. The system on the bell founder wall offers around 200 parking spaces for bicycles, including ten special parking spaces for cargo bikes. This easily accessible parking garage is another step to promote cycling in the Hanseatic city.

With the opening, the new parking garage complements the existing 318 secured places through a smaller bike station, which was put into operation in March with 120 parking spaces on the Steingordamm. A total of over 500 bicycle parking spaces are now available at the main train station, which are intended to support the switch between bicycle and public transport. "The bicycle parking in Hamburg is becoming more attractive", as it is in a report by Sat1regional means

prices and booking

If you want to park your bike in the new parking garage, you can do this at fair prices: the fees are 1 euro per bike and day, for cargo bikes it is 1.50 euros, and a monthly booking costs 8 euros. An annual booking is possible for 90 euros. Important to note: The places must be reserved online via the website of "Rad-Kultur Hamburg".

bicycle thefts in the St. Georg

An additional reason for the establishment of these safe parking facilities is shown in the theft figures of the past year: A total of 431 bicycle thefts were recorded in the St. Georg district - 141 less than 2023, but this is still a problem. Comparative values from other parts of the city show higher figures: 473 and even 785 bobs were stolen in Eimsbüttel. Therefore, the creation of several secure places is considered a necessary measure.

The red-green Senate has set itself the goal of increasing the number of covered and paid bicycle parking spaces by 2030 from the current around 28,000 to 40,000 in order to further promote the city as a bicycle-friendly location. These measures not only benefit cyclists, but also strengthen the infrastructure for public transport, since the change between the transport companies is facilitated, such as Tagesschau reported.
